I'm looking for some good quality speakers to use to listen to vinyls and to edit my own music with. I need them to have a good bass and just all around good stereo sound. My price range is anywhere up to $300, so if you have any suggestions please let me know. I'd also really like it to have multiple inputs including RCA and 3.5 mm. Bluetooth is not necessary, but of course is a plus. Thanks!

Speakers can sound very different from each other. Have you listened to speakers that you've liked the sound of? That might help us understand better what you mean by "good bass" and "good stereo sound". (I'm guessing quadrophonic sound is out then?) :p

I haven't really heard many speakers that have the tonal quality I like. When using IEMs you can hear what the music is really like, no bass amplification or changes. I just want to be able to hear a clean stereo signal through the speakers with enough low end to play rock music. I'd honestly like one around 100 W

I don't want to put words in your mouth, but it sounds like you want speakers that mimic the sound quality you get out your IEMs, yes?

That will certainly help. What IEMs do you like?

It also sounds like you might want a flat frequency response, but I'll hold off on answering that until You share with me what IEMs you use and like.

I currently use the MEElectronics M6 Pro to record music with and they sound quite nice. I realize they could be a lot better, but I like the fact that they don't modify the sound. That's the biggest need for me
 
The problem with comparing speakers to headphones is that good speakers create a rather different sort of soundstage.
